When Breaking the Law is Justified Post

I really didnt think that Britian was upholding their part of the deal because they were doing things that american didnt even know about. Britian was taxes things and not letting America know about it. The King refused his Assent to Laws, he forbidded his Governors to pass Laws even if they were very inprotant, and he kept dissolving Representative Houses. The king also refused to call others to be elected for the legslative powers.
The colonists didnt have their natural rights. Like when he told the people that they had to let the soldjers stay with them and they had to feed them and shelter them but the peoples rights said that they pay for is private and if they say that people cant be on their land then they couldnt. But the King told them that they had to take of them while they were there. Thats why I think think that didnt really care about there natural rights.
The colonists got tired of what Britain was doing to them so they decided to take matters into their own hands. Some of the colonists decided that they were going to stop taking goods from britian and make and sell their own goods to show them that they could do good on their own. Other men in Boston did the Boston Tea Party, in that party they went aboard a boat and poured all of the tea that was on the boat into the sea and they did it without any camotion and without weapons or anything.
I think that America started to the law in 1773 when the Boston Tea Party happened. The reason i think that is because thats when most of the things occured. Like when the colonies started making thier own goods instead of taking them from Britian.America had to mke the bill of rights to make sure that the U.S. government was upholding their natural rights because without that the U.S. would not be the way it is right now.

The Richest People in Our Country

Well in some why I envy rich people but then again I cant get mad at something or someone that I cant handle. The reason why I do envy them is because they do unnessecery things with their money when they can be helping people, but then again some of the rich people do help people in need so thats one reason why I try not to envy them. Some people make thier money by others but most make it on thier own now these days. To tell the truth if you made that money all by yourself I dont see why you have to share it with everyone else that didnt help you get to where you are right now.
